Hi Does anyone know if Soar Chapel was on Bersham Rd/Windsor Rd at New Broughton? Is there a photo out there anywhere? Was there a graveyard? Any info on the chapel gratefully received

I think there were a couple of Chapels in New Broughton, one has been demloished, it was on the corner of the roundabout , which I`m sure was on Windsor Road/ Bersham Road. I don`t think there was a graveyard and you can see the site as it is now from the link. There is a Chapel Road, but gain i`m not sure which chapel it refers to. To be honest it`s just a place I drive through on my way to Minera. Not much help www.flashearth.com/?lat=53.055486&lon=-3.030336&z=19.3&r=349&src=msl

I saw that it had been demolished whilst googling so I think the link to flashearth is the right one.
Google Street View shows some new flats called Windsor Court so I guess this is the old chapel site.
Thank you
